Does in-brace correction affect coronal spinal and thoracic cage parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis? A retrospective cohort study.

The aim of the study is to identify the effects of in-brace correction on coronal spinal and thoracic cage parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). The coronal spinal parameters [Cobb angle, apical vertebral rotation (AVR), lateral trunk shift, coronal alignment, biacromial slope and pelvic asymmetry] and the thoracic cage parameters [T1- 12 height, T1-S1 height, thoracic transverse diameter, and apical vertebral body-rib ratio (AVB-R)] of 89 child and adolescent patients were measured on posterior-anterior full-spine radiographs at pre-brace and in-brace conditions using Surgimap software. The initial in-brace correction (IBC) was calculated as a percentage decrease in the Cobb angle on the in-brace radiographs.

Methods: A total of 92 participants with T2DM (38 women and 54 men) aged 36-76 years were recruited. Biochemical measurements, including fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), were obtained from the patients' blood sample records.

Dual Task Performance in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Daily life activities commonly include many combinations of dual tasks. Although dual task ability has been studied in healthy young adults, dual task performance in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) has not been explored. Our objective in this study was to investigate dual task performance in adolescents with IS.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Kyphosis specific spinal appearance questionnaire in adolescents with moderate hyperkyphosis.

Background: Hyperkyphosis cause poor posture, self-image, clinical or cosmetic deformity and well-being. Therefore, it is important to evaluate patients' perception of appearance in the rehabilitation process of individuals with hyperkyphosis. Recently Kyphosis Specific Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (KSAQ) has been developed for the assessment of appearance in hyperkyphosis patients.

The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 12-item Örebro musculoskeletal screening questionnaire (ÖMSQ-12-TR).

Purpose: The 12-item Örebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire (ÖMSQ-12) is a multidimensional questionnaire assessing general musculoskeletal problems. This study aimed to investigate its construct validity and reliability.

Materials And Methods: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed for construct validity.
